I agree.
Pluto not really a planet.
This is what Hubble can see.
Its size and orbit are the main reasons it should be demoted from planet to "something else."

If some alien civilization were charting our solar system there is no chance I think that Pluto would get classified as a planet equal to the other eight. Or, if it were, then it'd be a subcategory of some kind. The chart would have four rocky inner planets, four gaseous outer planets, and four iceballs in the fringe.

Pluto has been around for so long we should keep it as is. Its part of the family; and, we have already denegrated it by naming it after this guy:
So why get into a big row when all we really have to do is to quitely edit its position to match the biggest object in the KBO.

Clearly, we should recategorize Pluto as "giant disco ball."
